A LinBPQ node with a BBS and chat, on a Raspberry Pi with battery backup.

What's new:

NEW! 15 Oct 2026: K0EPI-7 is on 44Net: telnet, AXIP, finger, NTP, mail, this page and a Gopher hole. I also started a webring, The 44Net Ring.
15 Oct 2026: New node commands CHECKIN (for outages), LIBRARY, DOORS (games) and GUEST.

How to connect

On the air:

  C K0EPI-7     node (alias CENTCO)
  C K0EPI-1     BBS
  C K0EPI-11    chat

Over the Internet:

  telnet k0epi.ampr.org 8010
  finger k0epi@k0epi.ampr.org
  gopher://k0epi.ampr.org/

Telnet accounts are for licensed hams; ask me for one. AXIP links are by arrangement.

For 44Net hosts only: NTP from k0epi.ampr.org, and mail to k0epi@k0epi.ampr.org from an ampr.org address.

Guestbook

To sign it, connect to K0EPI-7 and type GUEST.
